Eric and Jane Norton have been neighbors for many years here in Vilano Beach. They have been active in North Shores Improvement Association for many years, and Eric annually cooks for our breakfast on the morning of the 5K Run.

Jane is now general manager at Serenata Beach Club. She started the position Aug. 1, 2011. Jane is the lead person at the club, and her duties include overseeing all departments, club operations and membership. Serenata Beach Club (SBC) is 10 years old as of the summer of 2011 and offers a private beach, pools for children and adults, fitness center and dining. SBC will also host events and functions celebrating anniversary parties, weddings and receptions.

The club is owned by Paul and Jerome Fletcher who have been in real estate and land development for many years, notably selling the land where TPC is to PGA and developing several residential communities in the southeast.

Until next time, look on the bright side.

SBC currently has 950 members, which includes a good mixture of age groups, mostly from the local condominiums, Guana River and Coastal Corridors, also from Atlanta and Jacksonville,

This is Jane’s first shot at the general manager position, but she has been in the private club business for more than 30 years, though she doesn’t look to be much over 30 herself! “It’s like coming home” Jane says of working in her own neighborhood for the first time.

Our neighborhood is special to us because of folks like Eric and Jane Norton, and we appreciate their being part of us.
